This is extremely worrying. Important for those working with children and families to be aware of. Thank you @Jess_Warren_ @BBCNews for reporting on it. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan…
The #WhitewashAutism Campaign is discussing about the image problem in the autism community which show white autistic people or white autism parents talking about autism. The narrative keeps enforcing the narrative that you have to be white to be autistic and along with other /1
#WhitewashAutism unless you’re listening to, advocating for, and empowering the voices of Autistic people of all marginalised groups, you’re doing it wrong. We must acknowledge our privileges. I need to do better too as a white man, and it’s something I’ll keep working on.

Newsflash: there are NOT more neurodivergent people. There are more of us finally being identified. Why are we not celebrating that fact 🤦🏻♀️
"When I saw you were a therapist of colour it made me so pleased and relieved". The highlight of my SLT career so far and the reason why representation is so important. #MySLTday
#AERA2024 join me at this panel on Sunday, so excited to share the stage & learn from all the amazing speakers & a BIG thank you to the wonderful @mildredboveda for creating this space & encouraging me to share my work with others 💜💜💜
In that first tweet, I used the puzzle piece, described the ‘symptoms’ of autism and used person-first language. We LEARN!!! Let’s always remember some people are at the start of their journey of understanding and it can take time to learn! 💜
It's the first day of Autism Acceptance Month So let's start the month off with this message! This also works the alternative way. If someone tells you their preference is "with autism," likewise don't refer to them as an "autistic person." How we identify is key 🔑 respect it
Standardised assessments will always label a % of the population as failing or even disordered. Yet assessments like this assume there is a standard way of being a human. That's clearly absurd. It's society's push for order that causes disorder. Diversity is not something to fix.
Are these people okay?! 👀🤦🏻♀️
It’s important to remember that the current diagnostic criteria for autism describe distressed autistic people, yet it’s perfectly possible to be autistic & thrive.
Waiting for the train on my way to present this morning. Super excited. Finally getting started on my fieldwork. 🤗🤗 @hattalksuk 🥰🥰

Therapists trained within a system that perpetuates racist, ableist ideologies will reinforce these biases in their assessment practices
This #NeurodiversityCelebrationWeek please don’t refer to my disability (AuDHD) as a “superpower” 🌈🧠
me, shopping for groceries: isn't it weird how I started intuitively switching to AAC every time we go to the store? me, unpacking groceries: isn't it weird how I stopped feeling completely exhausted every time we return from the store?
my heart is broken for ryan gainer and his loved ones. yet another Black autistic boy lost to police violence, white supremacy & ableism. abolition is a disability issue. white supremacy is a disability issue. this cannot continue. these have to be core parts of our advocacy.
Episode 5: all about being AuDHD speechies. Including training, newly qualified life and progression into specialisms. We’ll be talking about ableism in the Speech & Language Therapy profession as a core focus 🧠🌈🎙️ Listen now: open.spotify.com/episode/0pvPh6… #MySLTDay
Really looking forward to presenting & sharing lived experience with fabulous videos around semi-speaking/multimodal communication. Thank you to @hattalksuk @tiggertraining & @tuttleturtle42 for your videos & @yes_thattoo, @endeverstar @jo3grace for all your help & support. 🤗

As an AuDHDer, I’m not viewed as “typically professional.” I’m a ball of energy, I can’t keep still in meetings/training, I don’t get formal emails, I avoid small talk, I don’t make eye contact, I sit by myself in an office. That doesn’t make me unprofessional! 👇🏼 #AuDHD

#Autistic moment of the day: discussing the outrage about the font changes on WhatsApp with @ElaineMcgreevy

This is extremely worrying. Important for those working with children and families to be aware of. Thank you @Jess_Warren_ @BBCNews for reporting on it. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan…
🧵🧵🧵 quick thread on my time at #AERA2024 I’ll start with the theme for this year, which was a call to dismantle racial injustice & construct Educational Possibilities. It is a powerful declaration and statement & something I centre in my work.
Thx for the follow, @DrCFCannonPS! Looking to be better allies to the #Autistic community, hot off the presses is a FREE self-directed learning experience I designed to help foster #AutisticAcceptance in our schools & beyond. Help grow our community of practice! (link in bio)
This is so inappropriate, there is genocide happening right now in Palestine & @IALP_Global are holding there next Speech & Language Therapy conference in Israel ! 👇🏿👇🏿👇🏿 Have you no humanity?!?

What if the headline said: ‘People with lived experience offering services to disabled people to help them access the right support as the system makes it a fight every step of the way.’ Why is the fact that people need help navigating the system not what is being amplified?
#WhitewashAutism unless you’re listening to, advocating for, and empowering the voices of Autistic people of all marginalised groups, you’re doing it wrong. We must acknowledge our privileges. I need to do better too as a white man, and it’s something I’ll keep working on.
Use #WhitewashAutism to talk about how whitewash the autism community is. Let's talk about it. I don't care if autistic people with privileges get mad. It needs to be said. Also, it needs to be said in the autism parents community as well.
Being accused of faking a disability is extremely traumatising.
It feels overwhelming as an ?advocate/activist (I don’t know what to call myself) to constantly see so many news articles, stories and discussions that fuel anger or desire for change and that you want to engage with or comment on. It’s exhausting. 1/3 🧵
"When I saw you were a therapist of colour it made me so pleased and relieved". The highlight of my SLT career so far and the reason why representation is so important. #MySLTday
Most people in other fields don’t buy into the DLD construct, it’s mainly SLPs that push it. Fortunately outside of our field a lot of scholars in education can dig into it & see the issue with pathologisation of marginalised bodies
